Yuvraj lifts India to record T20 win
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 13 - 12 - 2009

Birthday boy Yuvraj Singh gave a stunning all-round display to spur India to a record 6-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the 2nd T20 international Saturday.
India reached the highest chasing total, amassing 211 for four in 19.1 overs after Sri Lanka had made a daunting 206 for seven. The series was drawn 1-1.
Yuvraj, who turned 28 Saturday, smashed a 25-ball 60 not out after he had grabbed 3-23 bowling left-arm spin on his home ground.
Sri Lanka skipper Kumar Sangakkara top-scored for the second game in a row, making 59 off 31 balls as a sloppy India dropped five catches. Sangakkara hammered eight fours and two sixes after stroking a match-winning 78 in the opening game Wednesday.
Sehwag hit 64 off 35 balls and added 58 runs with fellow opener Gautam Gambhir (21) and 50 for the next wicket with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (46).
The teams play a five-match one-day series from Tuesday.
